What Fuel Do You Use For Your Vehicle?


Recommended Posts

Petron Extra Unleaded

Petron XCS

Caltex Silver with Techron

 

combination of unleaded and regular (80-20). it's more price and octane maximization.

 

We are one of the few countries that has 95-96 octane rating. the US has been reducing the 95 octane from their gas pumps.

 

when in metro manila, a 95-96 octane is useless due to the traffic. i only use higher octane for out of town trips

my Diesel & Gas preference

1) Petron

2) Shell

3) others if the 2 arent available

 

Sa palagay nyo meron malaking agwat sa quality nang gasolina sa ibat ibang kompanya o galing lang yan sa isang refinery? Meron mag independent appraiser sa quality nang gasolina?

This note is from Christian Montoya which I think you guys might find interesting:

 

I just wanted to let you know that this is a dangerous thing! The difference between regular, plus and premium gas is the octane rating… 87, 91, and 93 if I remember correctly. Every car has its own rating, and I am going to guess that your car is 87 or 91. A lot of people think that giving a car a higher grade of gas is a way to give it “extra treatment,” but this couldn’t be farther from the truth. The higher octane rating means that the gas *burns hotter*, and if you give an 87 octane car 93 octane gas, you are making the combustion process burn much hotter than what the engine is designed to handle, making the car wear out much faster! If you gave your car premium gas every day it would wear out sooner than expected, and giving it premium gas even one day (like a birthday) is not a present at all. If you want your car to last as long as possible, stick to the octane rating it calls for.

 

I hope this helps! From a reader (and engineer) to you… no more Premium, okay?
